Even though there is still a lingering marginalization of the Native American culture within the United States due to that acts of our forefathers including systematic disenfranchisement and mass genocides, there are many distinct cultures that remain the United States that bring about Native American drama in varying degrees. There are many different forms of Native American drama including Shaman led stories that guide the audience through a narrative, songs and dances, re-enactment of significant events within their cultures, and theater, and despite all of these varying avenues for narrative art, many of the Native American dramas share common aspects that can connect them as surely Native American. These include: vivid spiritual content and teaching, vivid demonstrations of ceremony, the Native American connection to Earth and the natural world, etc.; many of these stories come with moral explanations and the reasons for traditions. As Native Americans' place in the United States evolved, so did their theater, and many of their drama leading up to our modern time tackle very large issues such as: the marginalization and suppression of their native culture and society within the United States and their role within our system as they are recognized and treated as minorities.
